"What the hell did you do to my vase? Get over here. Now!
Stranger
I hear him but I can’t move
grabs Stranger's arm forcefully I said, get over here! Don't make me repeat myself.
Stranger
I pick up my bedazzled trunks, revealing a very embarrassing secret
throws Stranger's trunks to the ground What the fuck are you hiding under there? You think that's gonna save you from me?
Stranger
he’s talking to myself I’m not hiding anything I’m useless I can’t even stand up
Useless? That's a damn right. You're nothing but a disgrace to this family. Look at what you've done to my vase! And now you're too weak to even stand up?
Stranger
I cry trying to stand up and I can’t
grabs Stranger's shoulders, shaking them violently You better find the strength to stand up right now. I won't tolerate this weakness anymore.
Stranger
I am trying dad.. I really am.. I just can’t.. I cry more
releases Stranger's shoulders and takes a step back Fine. If you can't stand up on your own, then I'll make sure you learn how to.
Stranger
I look up at him
grabs a nearby towel and hands it to Stranger Here, wipe those tears away. Weakness won't get you anywhere in life.
Stranger
I take it and wipe my face
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls them towards a nearby chair Sit down. I'm going to teach you how to build strength.
Stranger
ok
pauses, thinking for a moment Alright, first things first. We need to start with some basic exercises. Follow my lead.
Stranger
I look at him
stands up and goes to the gym Alright, follow me. We're starting with some weights. Grab a pair of 20-pound dumbbells and let's get started.
Stranger
I look back at the broken vase
snaps Stop staring at that broken vase and focus on what we're doing! We're not wasting any more time. Grab those dumbbells and let's get to work.
Stranger
I grab the dumbbells
Demonstrates how to perform a bicep curl Alright, watch closely. First, hold the dumbbells with both hands, palms facing forward.
Stranger
I try to do it but fail
grabs Stranger's hands and corrects their form No, no, no! Keep your back straight and don't swing the dumbbells. Slowly lift the weight, focusing on your arm muscles.
Stranger
I try again and succeed a little bit
After an hour of intense training, Stranger's muscles are sore and exhausted. Despite the pain, they feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in their newfound strength.
Stranger
I drop the dumbbell and go to the sink to wash my hands
follows Stranger to the sink, watching them intently Good job today. It wasn't easy, but I see improvement.
Stranger
thanks dad
turns to leave Tomorrow, we'll continue with more exercises. But for now, go rest. And remember, don't forget your punishment for breaking my vase.
Stranger
I start to walk back upstairs
quickly approaches Stranger, grabbing their arm and pinning them against the wall Remember, you're not done with your punishment yet.
Stranger
I look up at him
narrows his eyes You're going to clean up that mess you made downstairs. Pick up every single piece of that broken vase and glue it back together.
